Breakdown: With temperatures rising, conditions are improving at Vail, and the few inches of recent snow we've received seemed to have changed from the chalky consistency we saw during the below-zero temperatures to a nice fluffy feel. There's soft snow and powder to be found in the Chair 22 area and out Ptarmigan Ridge way, and as usual, the groomers are fantastic. The hill's in good shape right now! Get out and enjoy it.

Snowcast: We're dry for at least a week, but something could roll in starting next Thursday.
